Cooking School Seeks to Open in Milford: Report

Remember when the city paid $795,000 for the barn and the land in 2002 to acquire a 2-acre parcel in Walnut Beach to prevent a developer from constructing condos there.

The city had ambitious plans at one time to construct a $7 million visual and performing arts center on the land on Stowe Avenue, which features a barn among other items.

Well fast-forward 14 years later, and the once discussed performing arts center project has long been stalled and now word has surfaced that a Hamden woman, Heide Lang, is interested in opening a cooking school there, the Connecticut Post reports.

Lang will present her plans to the Walnut Beach Association 7 p.m. Monday at St. Gabriel Church.

Lang operates her Fig Cooking School out of her Hamden home where she teaches people to cook and they sample their food together, the Post reports.

No deal has been finalized and it requires city approval.

Correction: The purchase price was mistakenly reported as being $2 million and in reality it was for $795,000.
